HE  State  Commission,  appointed  by  Governor  Hughes 
to  commemorate  two  important  events  in  the  history  of 
New  York  State,  allotted  to  Albany  two  days  for  the 
city's  celebration  and  early  in  the  summer  Mayor  Henry 
F.  Snyder  named  prominent  Albanians  on  committees  to 
arrange  an  appropriate  program.  These  committees 
have  worked  diligently  since  their  appointment  and  have 


prepared  a  series  of  events  which  will  both  entertain  and  instruct. 
These  will  be  found  in  detail  on  subsequent  pages. 

The  events  commemorated  are  the  exploration  of  the  Hudson 
River  by  Henry  Hudson  in  1609.  and  the  successful  use  of  steam  for 
propelling  boats  on  the  same  river  in  1807. 

Hudson  reached  Albany  in  the  Half  Moon  on  September  19. 
1609. 

Fulton  traveled  from  New  York  to  Albany  in  the  Clermont  in  32 
hours,  or  at  an  average  speed  of  nearly  five  miles  an  hour,  reaching 
Albany  at  five  o'clock  in  the  afternoon  of  Wednesday.  August 
13.  1807. 

Fulton  in  a  notice  of  his  trip  sent  to  the  "  American  Citizen  "  on 
his  return  to  New  York  thus  modestly  described  his  voyage  : 


To  the  Editor  of  the  "  American  Citizen  " 

Sir  :  I  arrived  this  afternoon,  at  four  o'clock,  in  the  steamboat  from  Albany.  As  the 
success  of  my  experiment  gives  ine  great  hopes  that  such  boais  may  be  rendered  of  great 
importance  to  my  country,  to  prevent  erroneous  opinions  and  give  some  satisfaction  to  the 
friends  of  useful  improvements,  you  will  have  the  goodness  to  publish  the  following  statement 
of  facts  : 

I  left  New  York  on  Monday  at  cne  o'clock  and  arrived  at  Clermont,  the  seat  of 
Chancellor  Livingston,  at  one  o'clock  .  time.  24  hours,  distance.  I  10  miles.  On  Wednesday 
I  departed  from  the  Chancellor's  at  nine  in  the  morning,  and  arrived  at  Albany  at  five  in  the 
afternoon  distance.  40  miles  time.  8  hours.  The  sum  is  150  miles  in  32  hours,  equal  to 
near  five  miles  an  hour. 

On  Thursday,  at  nine  o'clock  in  the  morning,  I  left  Albany,  and  arrived  at  the  Chan- 
cellor's at  six  o'clock  in  the  evening  I  started  from  thence  at  seven  and  arrived  at  New 
York  at  four  in  the  afternoon  ;  time,  30  hours,  space  run  through.  150  miles,  equal  to  five 
miles  an  hour.  Throughout  my  whole  way.  both  going  and  returning,  the  wind  was  ahead  . 
no  advantage  could  be  derived  from  my  sails  :  the  whole  has.  therefore,  been  performed  by 
the  power  of  the  steam-engine. 

I  am.  Sir,  your  obedient  servant. 

ROBERT  FULTON 

Of  Hudson's  early  life  but  little  is  known.  He  was  English  by 
birth  but  Dutch  by  adoption  and  affiliation.  The  voyage  which 
resulted  in  the  discovery  and  exploration  of  the  Hudson  River,  as 


well  as  two  previous  voyages,  was  made  by  the  navigator  in  the  hopes 
of  finding  a  northwest  passage  to  China.  The  first  two  voyages  were 
made  under  the  auspices  of  the  Muscovy  Company  trading  in  Russia. 
The  third  and  most  memorable  one  was  financed  by  the  Amsterdam 
Chamber  of  the  great  Dutch  East  India  Company.  He  lost  his  life  in 
June,  1611,  when  he  was  cast  adrift  by  a  mutinous  crew  in  the  far 
northern  James  bay,  having  sailed  from  Gravesend  for  Greenland  in 
May,  1607. 

Fulton  was  born  in  Little  Britain  township  (now  Fulton)  near 
Lancaster,  Pa.,  November  14,  1765.  He  early  showed  skill  in  draw- 
ing and  mechanics  but  he  resolved  to  be  an  artist,  and  at  the  age  of 
17  commenced  the  study  of  that  profession  in  Philadelphia,  painting 
many  portraits  and  landscapes  of  note.  He  followed  his  profession  in 
London  for  ten  years,  and  while  in  that  city  took  up  the  study  of 
mechanical  science.  As  early  as  1793  he  conceived  the  idea  of  pro- 
pelling vessels  by  steam.  In  1797  he  went  to  Paris,  which  was  his 
principal  place  of  residence  until  he  returned  to  America  in  1806. 
While  in  the  French  capital  he  formed  the  acquaintance  of  Robert 
R.  Livingston,  who,  as  chancellor  of  the  New  York  Court  of  Chan- 
cery, administered  the  oath  of  office  to  President  Washington.  Liv- 
ingston was  a  student  of  mechanics  and  science,  and  after  many  con- 
sultations Fulton  and  Livingston  at  joint  expense  in  1803  built  a  boat 
which  was  successfully  launched  on  the  Seine  but  which  did  not 
meet  expectations  as  to  speed.  Fulton  returned  to  this  country  and 
built  the  Clermont  in  the  spring  of  1807.  She  was  150  feet  long,  13 
feet  wide,  and  7  feet  deep  and  measured  1 60  tons.  The  engine  was 
24  inches  diameter  of  cylinder,  with  3-foot  stroke.  The  boiler  was  of 
the  low-pressure  pattern,  20  feet  long,  7  feet  deep  and  8  feet  broad. 
Her  side  wheels  were  1 5  feet  in  diameter,  with  buckets  4  feet  wide, 
dipping  two  feet  into  the  water. 

Fulton  lived  only  eight  years  after  the  successful  trip  of  the 
Clermont,  but  during  that  time  built  many  boats  for  the  Hudson  and 
ferryboats  for  the  East  River.  He  was  harassed  by  litigation  on  his 
patents  and  at  the  end  was  insolvent,  in  the  last  year  of  his  life  he 
built,  by  the  direction  of  the  government,  a  steam  war-vessel — the  first 
of  its  kind.  It  was  named  Fulton  the  First,  and  was  launched  on  the 
East  Kiver  October  29,  1814.  Fulton  died  February  23,  1815,  at  the 
age  of  49  years.

HISTORICAL  SIGNIFICANCE  OF  THE  COVERS 


THE  Program  Committee,  of   which    John    A.    Howe,  Jr., 
is   chairman   and  Peter   Schumacher  secretary,  wishes  to 
explain  to  the  public  the  origin  and  historical  significance  of 
the  covers.      The  committee  is  justified   in  making  the  statement 
that  of  all  the  programs  printed  the  Albany  Souvenir,  in  so  far  as 
its  covers  are  concerned,  is  the  most  accurate. 

On  the  outside  cover  in  the  left  upper  corner  appears  the  portrait 
of  Henry  Hudson,  in  the  right  that  of  Robert  Fulton;  between  these  is  the 
title.  At  the  left  appears  the  Half  Moon,  with  Indians  in  canoes  and 
on  the  bank  of  river ;  at  the  right  appears  the  Clermont,  with  the  Pali- 
sades in  view;  in  the  center  appears  the  head  of  an  Iroquois  Indian 
with  a  wampum  belt  over  his  shoulder,  and  represents  the  famous  Hia- 
watha  belt.  The  face  denotes  the  Indian  in  times  of  peace  and 
all  insignia  denoting  the  warrior  is  omitted.  The  face  is  a  fine 
type  of  the  Seneca  Indian  and  is  made  from  a  living  Seneca  who 
is  one  of  his  race  selected  by  the  State  to  furnish  historical  models 
for  permanent  records.  The  head  was  drawn  under  the  personal 
supervision  of  Mr.  Arthur  C.  Parker  (who  is  himself  a  Seneca 
Indian,  also  archeologist,  and  therefore  authority  on  such  matters), 
and  pronounced  to  be  a  perfect  type. 

The  picture  of  the  Half  Moon  is  drawn  from  a  study  of  the 
replica  by  Mr.  Hill  at  Brooklyn  Navy  Yard,  since  its  arrival  from 
Holland. 

The  Clermont  was  made  from  a  drawing  by  Mr.  Samuel 
Ward  Stanton,  author  of  the  book  entitled,  'American  Steam 
Vessels,"  which  received  a  medal  and  diploma  at  the  World's 
Columbian  Exhibition,  Chicago,  in  1893.  In  speaking  of  the  draw- 
ing of  the  Clermont,  Mr.  Stanton  says :  "  Of  the  early  steamers 
that  of  the  Clermont  has  been  drawn  from  the  accepted  illustration 
of  this  boat,  similar  to  the  drawing  which  is  credited  to  Robert 


Fulton  himself.  All  available  dimensions  of  her  were  carefully 
consulted,  and  the  illustration  I  have  given  was  first  drawn  to  a 
scale  from  the  known  dimensions  of  the  boat.  She  was  133  ft. 
long,  breadth  of  beam  1 8  ft.,  depth  of  hold  7  ft.,  and  in  the  fall 
and  winter  of  the  same  year  (1807)  she  was  lengthened  and  re- 
fitted,  etc."  In  speaking  of  the  drawings  in  the  book,  he  says :  "  In  no 
case  have  I  made  use  of  a  picture  or  drawing  that  did  not  bear  the 
stamp  of  authenticity.  The  data  obtained  was  from  Custom-house 
records,  Steamboat  Inspectors'  reports,  newspapers  and  other  docu- 
ments, and  the  facts  and  figures  given  are  believed  to  be  absolutely 
correct." 

On  the  back  cover  appears  the  coat-of-arms  of  the  City  of  Albany, 
with  a  border  around  it  in  which  are  drawn  the  symbols  or  coats-of- 
arms  of  the  six  tribes  of  Iroquois  Indians.  Mr.  Parker  describes  them 
brifley  as  follows: 

The  Iroquois  Confederacy  when  first  known  to  white  men  em- 
braced five  nations;  thus  the  confederacy  or  league  is  often  called  the 
Five  Nations.  The  oldest  nation  is  said  to  have  been  the  Mohawks 
whose  territories  stretched  from  the  St.  Lawrence  to  the  Mohawk 
River  and  from  Albany  on  the  Hudson  to  Herkimer.  The  Mohawks 
were  called  the  "Possessors  of  the  Flint"  or  "People  of  the  Flint  Land." 
It  was  a  band  of  the  Mohawks  which  Champlain  met  in  1609  at  the 
present  site  of  Ticonderoga.  Thus  the  national  arms  of  the  Mohawk 
bore  the  symbols  of  the  Adirondack  mountains  and  the  emblem  of  their 
power — the  flint.  All  the  New  England  nations  cringed  in  terror  at  the 
cry  of  "The  Mohawk"  whose  keen,  flint-tipped  arrows  flew  straight 
and  killed  when  they  struck. 

The  Oneidas  lived  west  of  the  Mohawk  nation  and  bordered  on 
the  Onondaga.  The  Oneida  emblem  was  a  great  stone  which  symbo- 
lized their  permanency,  and  their  council  fires  were  always  held  about 
enormous  bowlders.  One  of  the  Oneida  stones  may  be  seen  in  the 
cemetery  at  Utica. 


The  Onondaga  nation  called  itself  "The  People  of  the  Hills"  and 
were  known  officially  as  "The  Keepers  of  the  Fire."  in  allusion  to  the 
fact  that  the  capitol  of  the  League  was  at  Onondaga.  The  council  fire 
of  the  Five  Nations,  now  six  nations,  still  burns  unextinguished  not  seven 
miles  from  Syracuse.  The  Onondagas  were  the  wampum  keepers, 
but  in  1908  passed  that  office  to  the  Director  of  the  State  Museum. 
Albany. 

The  Cayuga  nation  were  called  "The  People  of  the  Mucky 
Land  "  and  "  Bearers  of  the  Great  Pipe. " 

Westward,  bordering  on  the  Genesee  River,  "  the  river  of  the 
beautiful  valley."  dwelt  the  Seneca  nation,  known  as  "The  People  cf 
the  Hill"  and  "Keepers  of  the  Western  Door."  The  great  hill  cf 
the  Senecas  is  now  known  as  Bare  Hill,  or  Nundawao.  and  lies  only 
a  few  miles  south  of  Canandaigua. 

The  Tuscaroras  were  admitted  between  1713  and  1724,  coming 
from  the  Carolinas.  They  were  never  regularly  admitted  as  a  sixth 
nation,  because  they  did  not  come  through  the  Seneca  or  Mohawk 
"door  "  They  were  called  "  The  Shirt  Wearers  "  and  "  The  People 
Who  Came  Through  the  Side  of  the  House." 

The  five  nations  called  their  League  "  The  Long  House," 
because  like  a  family  they  were  to  dwell  together  in  peace  and  unity. 

They  did  more  than  any  other  force  in  colonial  times  to  preserve 
this  region  for  an  English-speaking  people  and  were  loyal  to  their 
treaties  with  the  British  until  1812. 

There  are  5000  Iroquois  still  in  New  York  State,  living  as  a 
civilized  people  and  making  wonderful  progress. 

Mr.  Hill  has  the  distinction  of  being  the  first  white  man  to  draw 
these  symbols. 

The  drawings  for  the  cover  were  all  done  by  hand  and  are  the 
original  work  of  Mr.  Hill. 


Prober!  Fulton 


THE  SCHOOL  CHILDREN'S  PART 


IN  preparing  its  program  the  Albany  Committee  has  not  lost  sight  of 
the  educational  feature,  and  the  school  children  will  play  no  small 
part.    Their  exercises  will  occur  on  the  steps  of  the  Capitol  and 
those  not  participating  in  the  event  will  view  it  from  the  Capitol 
Park  which  is  to  be  roped  off  and  to  which  enclosure  none  but  children 
attending  Albany  schools  will  be  admitted.     This  event  is  to  take  place 
on  Thursday,  October  7,  at  10  o'clock  in  the  forenoon. 

A  living  United  States  flag  is  to  be  pictured  on  the  steps  of  the 
Capitol.  This  is  to  be  composed  of  2,000  girls  from  the  public  and 
private  schools  who  are  to  be  appropriately  costumed  in  the  national 
colors.  They  will  sing  patriotic  songs  in  chorus  with  band  accompani- 
ment. The  girls  participating  will  be  from  the  elementary  schools  only, 
and  all  are  to  be  over  ten  years  of  age. 

A  procession  of  boys  will  be  formed  also  to  rendezvous  at  the  head 
of  State  Street  in  front  of  the  Capitol,  to  march  up  State  Street,  to  Dove 
Street,  to  Washington  Avenue,  to  Capitol  Park,  arriving  at  the  time 
the  flag  is  forming  on  the  steps  of  the  Capitol. 

The  entire  terrace  will  be  used  for  this  enormous  spectacle,  which 
will  be  in  charge  of  Prof.  James  R.  Beauman.  Six  thousand  yards  of 
red,  white  and  blue  bunting  will  be  used  in  dressing  the  children,  and 
will  be  furnished  by  the  committee.  Each  of  the  six  long  stripes,  the 
entire  width  of  the  flag,  will  be  77  children  in  extent,  and  each  row  will 
be  two  abreast.  The  seven  shorter  stripes,  broken  by  the  starry  field  of 
blue,  will  be  55  children  in  extent,  two  abreast.  The  blue  field  will  be 
22  children  in  extent,  and  distributed  at  equal  intervals  will  be  children 
with  silver  stars  for  all  the  States  of  the  Union. 

The  music  will  be  in  charge  of  Prof.  Edward  Futterer. 

Of  even  more  importance  from  the  educational  standpoint  is  the 
program  which  the  Committee  has  arranged  for  each  of  the  schools. 
Tuesday,  October  5,  is  the  day  which  the  commissioners  of  education 
have  set  apart  for  the  general  observance  of  the  celebration  in  the 
public  schools.  The  programs  in  the  various  schools  will  consist  of 
short  essays,  quotations,  recitations  and  addresses  on  subjects  pertaining 
to  the  celebration,  together  with  exhibitions  of  drawings,  models,  etc.,  of 
the  boats  and  other  important  features  of  the  event— the  work  of  the 
scholars  of  the  different  schools.

THE  decorations  in  Albany  during  the  celebration  will  be 
the  finest  ever  seen  in  this  city.  State  Street  will  be  set 
apart  as  a  Court  of  Honor.  A  colonnade  will  be  formed 
from  Capitol  Park  to  the  Postoffice,  and  one  hundred 
and  forty-four  winged  columns  —  seventy-two  on  each  side  of 
the  street  will  be  erected.  These  will  be  covered  with 
white  material,  surmounted  by  bronze -profiled  capitals,  the  columns 
rising  to  a  height  of  twenty  feet  from  the  ground.  Across  the 
top  of  these  capitals  will  be  wooden  strips,  fifteen  feet  long, 
supporting  two  American  flags,  8x12  feet,  these  alternating 
with  draperies  of  the  Hudson- Fulton  Celebration  colors.  From 
lines  stretched  across  the  streets  from  house  to  house,  strings 
of  fancy  and  international  code  signal- flags  will  form  sky  borders. 
These  strings  will  be  hung  in  the  manner  of  ship's  dressing.  The 
electric  decorations  in  connection  with  this  Court  of  Honor  will  be 
exceedingly  beautiful.  Across  the  street,  from  Broadway  to  Eagle, 
will  be  drooping  festoons  of  lights.  These  will  be  suspended  from 
a  cross-arm  attached  to  every  trolley  pole,  and  so  arranged  as  to 
show  the  bunting  decorations  in  the  evening.  At  the  intersection 
of  Pearl  and  State  Streets  the  lines  will  be  diagonal  and  filled  with 
colored  lamps.  An  emblem,  showing  from  every  point,  will  be 
suspended  from  the  center  of  these  diagonal  festoons.  Two  parallel 
lines  of  eight  candle-power  white  lights,  with  intervals  at  the  street 
corners,  will  run  the  entire  length  of  the  street,  these  festoons  being 
suspended  between  the  winged  columns.  Thirty  flaming  arc  lights 
fifteen  on  each  side  of  the  street  will  be  placed  so  as  to  illuminate 
the  Court  of  Honor  in  the  most  brilliant  manner. 

The  other  street  decorations,  as  outlined  by  the  city,  will  be 
the  festooning  of  flags  across  Broadway  from  State  Street  to  the 
Union  Depot,  across  North  Pearl  Street  from  Clinton  Avenue  to 
State  Street,  and  across  South  Pearl  Street  to  Westerlo  Street ; 
these  festoons  also  extending  down  Westerlo  Street  to  Kiverside 
Park.  Festoons  of  electric  lights  will  also  be  suspended  across  the 
streets  in  addition  to  these  bunting  decorations. 


Riverside  Park  will  be  elaborately  decorated.  On  the  Broadway 
side  will  be  an  immense  triple  arch,  built  of  white  material  and 
elaborately  decorated  with  bunting  and  electric  lights.  Surrounding 
the  park  will  be  quantities  of  spruce  and  hemlock  trees,  twenty-two 
feet  high  when  planted,  these  forming  a  wooded  border  for  the 
park.  From  the  flag-stafF  in  the  center  of  the  park,  eight  lines  of 
streamers  of  electric  lights  in  the  national  colors  will  be  suspended, 
these  caught  up  by  an  apron  of  frosted  lamps  which  will  surround 
the  center  grass  plat.  Decorated  extensions  to  the  iron  railing  sur' 
rounding  the  park  will  hold  1000  additional  electric  lights 


TI II    SCOTC  H  FLOAT 

THE  Scotch  have  not  forgotten  the  fact  that  while  Fulton 
put  steam  to  the  use  of  propelling  boats,  it  remained  for 
James  Watt  to  put  the  same  motor  power  to  an  even  more 
practicable  use,  and  their  float  represents  this  progress.  On  the 
right  of  the  float  will  be  seen  a  bust  of  Robert  Fulton.  On  the 
left  of  the  float  will  be  a  bust  of  Henry  Bell,  the  co- laborer  with 
Fulton  on  steam  navigation,  who  ran  a  boat  through  the  Crinan 
Canal  between  Edinburgh  and  Glasgow  with  success  —  the  first 
steam  vessel  on  European  waters.  Henry  Bell  was  born  at 
Torphichen,  Linlithgowshire,  Scotland,  on  the  7th  day  of  April, 
1 767.  Another  bust  will  represent  George  Stephenson,  who  triumph- 
antly engineered  a  railway  between  Liverpool  and  Manchester. 
He  was  born  on  the  9th  day  of  June,  1781,  at  Wylam,  near 
Newcastle,  and  from  circumstances  of  great  poverty  arose  to  one 
of  the  most  characteristic  Scotchmen.  Another  bust  will  represent 
Lord  Kelvin,  late  president  of  the  Glasgow  University,  one  of  the 
brightest  and  most  active  spirits  in  the  development  of  everything 
that  tended  to  enlighten  and  uplift  the  human  race.  The  float  will 
also  be  illustrated  by  a  number  of  Scotchmen  attired  in  their  native 
and  ancient  dress,  together  with  pipers  rendering  the  strains  of 
music  so  inspiring  and  attractive.  There  will  also  be  a  pretty  little 
clique  of  boys  and  girls  who  will,  at  the  various  stations,  display 
their  ability  in  Scottish  reels  and  other  dances.

Whm  far  from  thee  I  seem  to  see. 

Albany  I  dear  Albany  I 
Thy  arms  outstretched  to  welcome  me, 

Albany  I  dear  Albany  I 
No  matter  where  on  earth  I  roam.

My  loyal  heart  beats  true  to  home.

HISTORICAL  INHIBITION 


THE  celebration  of  a  historical  event  would  be  most  incomplete 
without  a  historical  exhibit.  One  has  therefore  been  provided. 
Were  this  an  occasion  of  a.  general  celebration  and  not  of  an 
event  specific  in  its  nature,  such  an  exhibition  would  be  boundless  in  its 
scope  and  of  limitless  proportions ;  but  in  the  nature  of  things  its  idea 
was  to  bring  to  mind,  by  the  curios  and  art  treasures  collected  as  a 
loan  exhibit  for  this  short  period,  the  events  being  commemorated. 

In  view  of  the  fact  that  there  is  a  dearth  of  material  bearing  on 
Henry  Hudson,  the  committee  had  a  difficult  task  ahead,  nor  was  it  to 
be  presumed  that  the  display  could  include  such  things  as  related  to 
the  Columbian  discovery ;  and  Revolutionary  relics,  as  interesting  as 
they  usually  are,  were  likewise  not  within  the  province  of  the  exhibit. 

As  the  event  celebrated  may  be  termed  the  discovery  of  this 
locality  or  the  founding  of  the  city,  the  committee  accordingly  adopted 
the  plan  of  showing  such  things  as  related  to  the  earliest  events  in  the 
city's  history. — its  first  officials,  ancient  buildings,  earliest  maps,  and  old- 
fashioned  househ  "Id  articles.  Ingathering  the  collection  together  it 
also  paid  particular  attention  to  earlv  Hudson  River  steamboating,  and 
in  these  lines  it  is  believed  the  people  will  find  an  attractive  and 
instructive  exhibition. 

The  exhibit  is  made  in  the  largest  room  on  the  main  floor  of  the 
new  building  of  The  Albany  Institute  and  Historical  and  Art  Society, 
at  No.  125  Washington  avenue.  It  is  a  place  accessible  to  strangers 
to  the  city,  as  every  car  going  up  State  street  passes  its  door,  not  far 
from  the  corner  of  Dove  street. 

The  exhibition  is  open  free  to  the  public  from  9  a.  m.  until  5 
p.  m.,  beginning  on  Sunday,  October  3  at  2  p.  m.,  and  continuing 
throughout  the  celebration. 

The  committee  of  the  Hudson-Fulton  Celebration  consists  of 
Messrs.  Jacob  C.  E.  Scott,  chairman ;  Oscar  Smith  and  Cuyler 
Reynolds.

These  tribes  were  in  constant  warfare  one  with

upon  the  "  Holder  of  the  Heavens  "  or  Hia-
